Boy, I dunno. He's got all the tools. Maybe he doesn't have an arm like Brett Favre, but he's got literally about everything else you'd want in a passer. I submit he'll pretty routinely be a top-5 type QB in passer rating going forward.

How bout those Bengals?
4-2 going into the bye and Dalton just keeps getting better. Fun team to watch.
Dalton doesn't have the mid and long pass strength Palmer had, but the accuracy is there. I'll also take Dalton on the short passes over Palmer.
With that said, I still wonder how much success Palmer would have with Gruden as his OC. Or, how would Dalton be fairing with Brat still as the OC. Gruden has been just as instrumental on the offense this year as Dalton has.
This is crazy. The Bengals, thought to be a laughingstock, is taking it to the house late as the other team falls apart. And the Buckeyes are riddled with scandal and mega collapse to lose a game Bungles style. I think I'm in the Bizzaro football universe this year.

Games like that where you're supposed to win can be tough. I was a little worried the penalties were going to be the story of the game, but the Bengals overcame some sloppy play.
I felt like way more issues were apparent today, but hey, 4-2.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
4-2 is a pretty great start, any way you look at it considering what they were facing coming into this season. Andy Dalton impresses the heck out of me.
Phil Castellini puts the FUN in Trust Fund.
4-2 and games coming up against the Seahawks and Titans on the road after the bye. We will see how good Dalton is playing his first game on the west coast. I have been impressed with how well the young guys are handling the NFL game.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
4-2 and "Marvin is the worst coach in the NFL" talk absent from the discussion. Funny how that works

he probably has more time to focus on the team instead of the clown WRs.4-2 and "Marvin is the worst coach in the NFL" talk absent from the discussion. Funny how that works
I think that's everything. He looks like the Marvin of old without the circus constantly distracting him.

So, what record do the Bengals end the season with? Make your bold predictions now. I'd guess 8-8.
2013 Record at games attended: 0-1
I like the way our defense plays against Baltimore. I think 8-8 would be an average finish for us if we win the games we should win. To get into the playoff talk (way too early I know) we're gonna need to knock off Baltimore or Pitt here or there.
Am I the only one who worries about what some of these knuckleheads will do to get onto the police blotter with a week off on their hands???
Just bitter experience speaking...

When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
